Seven kittens living inside dead oak tree revealed when the tree was cut down

Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, USA: These kittens were very lucky. They were living inside the hollowed out trunk of a 200-year-old dead oak tree. The tree was being cut down and when it fell it split open revealing the kittens inside.

If the tree had not split open these kittens would be dead now because the trunk would have been carried off to a brush site or they would have been buried alive.

Cuddling up after rescue. They are adorable.

The kittens are two-weeks-of-age and they will be ready for adoption in about two weeks. They are currently at the Eau Claire County Humane Association. If you would like to apply to adopt one, I’d recommend contacting them on their Facebook page. Use the FB message facility.

The kittens are very cute red tabbies and red tabby-and-whites. A good cat coat.
